england and particularly in northern ireland where the temperature was as low as —4 last night and we could see similar temperatures tonight, frost potentially across western areas of the uk. into the weekend we should see the cloud breaking for a while to get some sunshine and the temperature slowly lifting. we start the weekend with cloud across eastern england, still some patchy rain around, cloud and rain should thin out and that should trigger sharp showers across eastern england, may be into south—eastern parts of scotland. many areas will be dry with plenty of sunshine around and the temperatures higher than today. still no better than 14-15. than today. still no better than 14—15. northern ireland clouds over later than the they could be some spots of rain into the evening overnight but the weakening weather front is trying to come in from the atlantic but at the same time, pressure building so tending to kill off that weather front so not much rain left at all by sunday. there is a more cloud around and across eastern parts of england there could

be some morning mist and fog patches. when this light for england and wales, brisk for northern ireland and western parts of scotland, a southerly breeze on sunday so the temperature continuing to rise a little bit to around 16 at best, so that is near are slightly above average. at one point it looked like m2 early next week the temperature could be 20 or more. high pressure building from scandinavia keeping it dry but around the high pressure we have easterly winds so the temperature not expected to be quite so high but still an improvement on what we have seen the last few days. over the week ahead a lot of dry weather with sunshine at times.
